I really think Nintendo will be fine. If it’s not, then no one in the console business will be fine.

Right now, we’re in the middle of a negative feedback loop inside our small, self-important gaming bubble. It’s dangerous to extrapolate from this bubble because we don’t represent the general public.

The most important people to Nintendo’s success are those who buy a system on Black Friday and 8-10 games per generation. Will they fork over $450 for a system and $70-80 for each game? I think yes. Nintendo has a virtual monopoly on the handheld space and its IPs have never been more popular.

If they don’t, Nintendo can always lower its prices. Although, who knows what’s going on with tariffs. Those will make life miserable for everyone in the industry, though.

They had a virtual monopoly when the 3DS launched too but look what happened when they launched that at 250$. An emergency 70$ cut was needed to save it.
